Very sad to share the news that we, at the The Lichtenstein Center lost our great benefactor, Dorothy Lichtenstein. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/nytimes/name/dorothy-lichtenstein-obituary?id=55511983

and here's a wonderful piece on her from just a few years ago: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/06/nyregion/how-dorothy-lichtenstein-philanthropist-spends-her-sundays.html

Although she lost her husband, the famous pop artist, more than 20 years ago, Ms. Lichtenstein remains entrenched in Southampton’s arts community.

Super super proud of this amazing alumna: Juhyoung Ra, visitng from South Korea - Her first feature screened at the Jeonju International Film fest in Korea and also in France. After that, she received local film artist funding and made her second feature, and last year, she received the 2023 Korean Film Council Independent Film Production Fund (the largest funding project in Korea) and filmed her third feature (Songbird) in the New York area in December. Can't wait to see where Songbird lands on the festival circuit.
